A New Jersey man accused of killing an aspiring rapper during a recording session has pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter.
NJ.com reports that 23-year-old Marcel Steele of Deptford also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and a drug count.
Under terms of a plea agreement, Gloucester County prosecutors are to recommend a total of 14 years in prison when Steele is sentenced Aug. 2.
Authorities said Steele and 22-year-old Jodeci Robinson were at a Deptford home recording music on a makeshift studio Steele had set up in a bedroom when they got into a dispute over money.
Authorities said Robinson withdrew cash from an ATM and they returned to the house, but Steele again asked for his money and drew a weapon when Robinson told him to "chill."
